Jane Fallon, the partner of comedian Ricky Gervais, has revealed she must undergo another operation as part of her breast cancer treatment. The 65-year-old author shared a photo on Instagram wearing compression socks, writing: 'The popsox are on again. Wish me luck.'
Fallon, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in March after a routine mammogram, had previously undergone surgery to remove a tumour. She reported that surgeons had 'basically got it all' but now require a second procedure to ensure clear margins. 'It will be just to make sure they get everything, which is a bit of a pain, but it isn't a worry,' she said.
In a separate post on X, Fallon condemned a 'disgusting' fake obituary and AI-generated images circulating online that falsely claimed she had died. 'Any photos you see of me in hospital, looking sad or with tubes sticking out of me are 100% fake – AI generated,' she wrote, urging fans to disregard the hoax.
Fallon, who met Gervais at University College London in 1982, has written 14 books including 'Getting Rid Of Matthew' and 'Faking Friends'. The couple live in Hampstead with their dogs.
